Description

The world's first paratroopers to be used in large numbers, the German
Fallschirmjager were at the tip of the spear when war broke out in 1939. They
led daring assaults on strategic targets, such as the fortress at Eben Emael,
enabling the following panzers to overrun Europe.

As a paratrooper force the Fallschirmjager's gre­atest achievement would be
the intense fighting they performed as they seized Crete in the face of more
numerous British and Commonwealth forces during 1941. This pyrrhic victory
meant that they were never again used en masse.

Small units still operated by glider and parachute, famously rescuing Italian
leader Mussolini, and raiding behind American lines in the Ardennes. Their
finest hour would undoubtly be the bitter fighting as they occupied the
monastery at Monte Cassino for months in the face of overwhelming odds, earning
themselves the nickname ‘Green Devils’. The German Paratroopers were
arguably the toughest in a tough army.

Warlord Games Fallschirmjager miniatures are ideally suited for battles in
North West Europe and can also be used in actions on the Russian Front.

The models come supplied unpainted and unassembled, contents may vary
